Our purpose.

A friend shared this with me today and it says it all really.

"Our prime purpose in life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them". ~ Dalai Lama.

That works for me.  Start with not hurting. if that's the best you can muster then we have to take it. but if you can muster a little more, then help.  I do try to teach that to the kids. I want them to find joy in helping others as we do. Because one day, you'll be the one needing help and you can't go through life always taking and not giving back.  Well, I guess you can, but what kind of life is that? If you can apply that philosophy to every relationship sounds like a recipe for success to me.

Just something to think about.
